Yeah, it was a dynamic IP :).  I'm sending from a different server this
time.

Hi,

I'm sorry for the delayed response, as this bug is very difficult to
track down.  The information you provided was helpful and I appreciate
it.  I have a theory as to what is going on, and the patch below might
solve your problem.  If not, it will at least give us some more
information.

The following would be useful:

1.) a complete dmesg after initial boot with the patch
2.) kernel message output after "rmmod parport_pc" and "modprobe
parport_pc" with the patch

I designed this patch to fix both "hpml150.dsl" and "hpml310.dsl".  If
you have time, could you test it on both platforms?  This is a hack, so
if it works, I'll give a more complete explanation and an official fix.

Thanks,
Adam
